Ok ok, please some more comments... which sirius you own?

I own the Sirius Gold Weave. It's a nice gi, but the drawstring isn't very good, IMO, and it is by far the heaviest gi I own. Also, the skirt is longer than I like. The Vulkan has a very nice, slim cut, and I really like lighter gis.

I suspect that the Vulkan isn't as sturdy as the Sirius, but I rotate between four gis, so I think it'll hold up. I think I'm only going to buy Vulkans from here on in.

Personally, I like the Vulkan a LOT more than the Koral. My Koral is a bit too baggy around the torso, and the Vulkan fits perfectly. vUlCaN 4 lYfe, f001z.

the sirius is a slice heavier then my koral. I've a blue sirius, my Skirt is perfect under my butt... its a littlebit shorter then my koral... but perfect.

the drawstring is no issue for me... it hold up nice (wtf are you doing with you pants?)

SOID! ur back?!?!? heard u got banned or something...anyways, ive been meaning to ask u. Did it read it right that although u are 160lbs 5"8 u got an A1 vulkan instead of an A2? im wondering coz were about th esame size, and im about to get a vulkan too. Just pm me the details, tnx.

oh and sorry for hijacking this post...
Actually, as embarrassed as I am to say, I'm really 170 lbs right now (a little heavier than that too maybe >.>...) But anywho, I compete usually at 149-159 so the gi fits me less tighter at those weights. I go with an A1 because I like to compete with snug guys and because also I feel more comfortable in clothes similarly (Not as snug as hipsters wear their clothes).

If I were you I'd get an A1 and see how it fits before you wash. If you feel like you shouldn't dry the gi because of fear of it shrinking, I would go up a gi size.

I'll try and measure my arms for you later today to give you an idea if you should go up or not.

Hahaha fuck I'm getting owned about it even on the internets. To be fair though, I'm American. One of my best friends is australian and him and his wife agree that it's much easier to get fat here than there.

Oh and another good excuse is that I had finals and ate like total shit.
